The culinary heritage of Tamil Nadu is rich and full of surprises. From the special rasam of the Kongunadu people to the Anglo Indian pot roasts, Tamil cuisine goes beyond the hackneyed idli-dosai. Annapurni, in an attempt to shed light on the culinary heritage and diversity of the southern state, documents favourite recipes of the Tamil people, and of those who have over the generations embraced Tamil Nadu as their home - producing a delightful mingling of traditional cuisines. The lip-smacking dishes of the Mudaliars, Vellalas, Naidus, Anglo Indians, Chettiars, and Tamil Muslims have been featured in this book, along with the delicate balance of flavours and communities that constitute the social fabric of the land down under.

Hardcover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. In Annapurni, author Sabita Radhakrishna cooks up a delicious feast of traditional Tamil dishes that are authentic and easy to use. She presents a careful selection of recipes borrowed from Tamil Nadu s diverse local people, as well as those of communities settled in the state, integrating the local cuisine with their own unique styles of cooking. These include the delectable dishes of the Mudaliars, Vellalas, Naidus, Kongunadus, Anglo Indians, Chettiars, and Tamil Muslims. Inspired by her family s appreciation of good, home-cooked food, she shares some of her mother's trademark dishes that define the Mudaliar community. A true reflection of Tamil Nadu s diverse ethnic heritage, the book includes a delicious variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian food, from Chettinad chicken curry to almond puris. Like every good, dog-eared and much-used family cookbook, Annapurni has been compiled with careful deliberation and bears the look and feel of what could have been one's grandmothers' diary of recipes. This volume will have readers salivating as it takes them on a mouth-watering journey across the flavours of India s south-eastern coast with its spices, seafood, and sweets, ending with a stainless-steel tumbler of freshly-brewed filter coffee.(jacket).
